he said he don't care if he die. he don't have nothing to live for. >> reporter: georgia police releasing the call for help from the bookkeeper in the school's front office. >> ooh, he just went outside and started shooting. >> reporter: police say the young man in the background, shooting and giving orders is 20-year-old michael brandon hill. the woman following them is bookkeeper antoinette tuff. >> he wants me to go on the intercom and let everybody know he's sorry. okay? >> everybody, this is still a continuous lockdown. >> reporter: she acted brilliantly. >> i can help you. let me talk to them and let's see if we can work it out so you don't have to go away with them for a long time. it's going to be all right, sweetheart. i just want you to know that i love you. and i'm proud of you. that's a good thing that you're just giving up. >> reporter: as tuff told george exclusively on "gma," she promised the shooter he would be okay if he surrendered. >> if he go ahead and surrendered, since he didn't

hurt anyone, that i would stay there with him until they came. and that it was going to be okay. that we were going to get out safely. >> reporter: when he put the guns down, police came rushing in. they're coming. so, just hold on, michael. go ahead and lay down. >> stay on the ground. get on the ground. do not move. >> i've never been so scared in any day of my life. >> you did great. you did great. >> oh, jesus. >> oh, god. >> reporter: police say hill was carrying an ak-47 he took from a friend's home. and say he snapped this photo before leaving for the school. they say he was carrying 500 rounds of ammunition. >> was the potential there to have another sandy hook? absolutely. >> reporter: these police reports show he's been in trouble before. arrested for threatening to shoot his own brother in the head last december. he was given three years probation. he has a history of poor mental health, according to his family. and he has a court appearance

scheduled any day now. lara? >> all right. steve osunsami in decatur. that's remarkable to hear. so scary. and able to say i love you to get it done. >> a hostage negotiator. amy robach in with the rest of the day's news. good morning, amy. >> good morning, lara. good morning,ñ7ç josh. we begin with the crisis in egypt. the key u.s. ally on the brink of civil war. egypt's president of 30 years could be heading home, released from prison by the new military regime. martha raddatz is in cairo with the latest on this developing story. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, amy. stunning events across the region here this morning. meaning, there could be even more turmoil. this morning, hosni mubarak, egypt's former authoritarian ruler, ousted by an uprising, gets released from prison. while his democratically-elected

successor is still under detention. it was february 2011, when mass protests, the so-called arab spring, forced mubarak to hand over power. corruption and other charges. now, with the military back in power, where mubarak once served as a general, the court is allowing the 85-year-old to return home. although, under house arrest. >> he shows where we're going tw really, really bad scene right now. this is horrible. he can't do that. >> reporter: meanwhile, in nearby syria, a possible chemical weapons attack. heart wrenching images of mothers, children, even infants. >> the only reasonable explanation in this case, some kind of chemical weapon. >> reporter: the assad government denies the use of chemical weapon, saying it is baseless. but the u.s. says it is deeply concerned. and the u.n. is sent to

investigate. amy? >> all right. martha raddatz with the latest from cairo. thank you. the embattled mayor of san diego s reached a settlement in the sexual harassment lawsuit against him. it's not clear if the deal will lead to bob filner's resignation. but he was seen packing boxes into his car outside city hall last night. 18 women have accused the mayor of improper behavior. and a military drill in russia caught quite a few beachgoers by surprise when it went a little offcourse or let's say a lot offcourse. look at that. no one was injured remarkably when this giant hovercraft charged ashore on to a crowded beach. the paratroopers swooped in and cleared the area. the military says much landings are routine. and they were surprised people was on the beach. it is august. just saying. and finally, we've been hearing a lot about them lately. but we rarely get to see a sinkhole happen, right before our eyes. watch these trees completely

disappear into a sinkhole. this is in a louisiana bayou. this video shot by local officials. this morning, we're told the sinkhole is still active and growing. right now, there's no homes in danger. but i looked this up. 25 acres in size right now. it's been growing for more than a year. it was a collapsed salt dome. a growing problem. >> really scary. we're going to turn to the latest on the health scare for vice president joe biden's son, beau. he is said to be in great shape and expected to be discharged today from a houston cancer hospital, after undergoing a procedure there earlier this week. doctors don't know what's exactly wrong with beau biden. but he was admitted after becoming weak and disoriented last week. abc's chief medical editor, dr. richard besser, here with us this morning. make it clear. you haven't seen the records here. you don't know exactly what is wrong. but first, treated for a stroke. and now, at a cancer center. what does it say to you? >> initially, when you hear

someone has similymptoms that a like a stroke and they've had a stroke in the past, you have to think whatever was going on before, it's happening now. but m.d. anderson cancer center, it's one of the best in the world. it makes you think this has to be related to some type of a cancer. >> could certain cancers cause a stroke? >> well, if you have anything growing in your head, whether it's benign or cancerous, it causes pressure. and that pressure on your brain can cause symptoms that are exactly like what you would see in a stroke. >> was age a factor here? he was awfully young to have suffered a stroke. >> when you hear confusion weakness, you have to take it seriously. stroke can occur. about 70,000 people under 45 will have a stroke every, single year. they delay treatment because they think it only happens in the elderly. all of the things that cause the symptoms, you need to get them checked out right away. we don't know what's going on here. hopefully it's nothing serious. >>e is set to be discharged.

we wish him the best. we turn to a stunning 911 call from a rising political star. dewhurst tries to get a niece out of trouble. was this call an abuse of power? >> this is david dewhurst. i'm lieutenant governor of the state of texas. >> reporter: david dewhurst is one of the most powerful people in texas politics. that's might explain why he seemed miffed this month, when the officer on this 911 call didn't know who he was. >> you don't know me. but i am, every year, the number one pick of all of the law enforcement agencies within texas. >> reporter: dewhurst was calling the allen county police, to help get his step niece out of jail. saying she had been unfairly detained for shoplifting at a grocery store. >> apparently a bag involving $57 worth of groceries wasn't

scanned. >> reporter: during the call, dewhurst was running for re-election, was asked how he can keep his relative out of jail. asking to speak to a sheriff or a local judge. >> can you give me the telephone number of the county judge there. what do i need to do in order to not circumvent anything, follow the law. because this is -- this is ridiculous. >> this was a politician calling the local police operation, trying to get a niece released in a way%g"' that regular citiz simply could not do. it looks terrible. for texans, for voters, for anyone who watched this. >> reporter: overnight, allen county police said dewhurst, quote, did not ask for anything out of line. his spokesman saying the lieutenant governor told police to follow normal protocols and procedures. >> i intend to jump into this and see what can be done to prevent this very nice lady through a miscarriage of justice spend a night in jail. >> reporter: this morning, dewhurst's rivals are pouncing.

saying his attempt to avoid a miscarriage of justice sounds like a, quote,e"&z blatant abus power. >> it raises some questions. we're going to turn to the latest in the case of former new england patriots tight end aaron hernandez. he will be in court for the second time since he was arrested in june for allegedly killing a friend. and abc's linsey davis on new evidence that could signal even more problems. >> reporter: good morning to you, josh. abc news has learned that former new england patriots tight end is expected to be formally indicted later today in the june killing of 27-year-old semipro football player odin lloyd. this, just as investigators look into a possible connection between the 23-year-old and another shooting. the hearing set for later today was initially scheduled as a probable cause hearing, where prosecutors would have had to explain to hernandez in open court, key pieces of their case against him, or risk the judge

releasing him on bail. but if hernandez is indicted, prosecutors can aggressively argue he should stay in jail, despite defense objections. >> it's hard to prepare for a trial with your client in custody. the biggest legal)1@& challenge those circumstantial, there is a lot of evidence. >> reporter: prosecutors say surveillance video captures lloyd getting into a car with three men before his death. the footage fromgvh hernandez's home shows the football star and two other men without lloyd. in screen grabs released by prosecutors, hernandez appears to be carrying a gun into the house. meantime, while investigators search for the gun used to kill lloyd, massachusetts state police say they recovered a different gun. and are investigating whether it was used in a 2012 drive-by shooting in boston that left two people ç sources say that case also appears to be connected to hernandez. experts say, if lloyd had information about that boston shooting last year, which some

reports suggest he did, prosecutors would want to know. two of hernandez's associates also face charges in this case. no word just yet if additional charges will be filed against a female cousin of hernandez and his fiancee, who investigators say both made overt attempts to hinder this investigation. >> thank you for that, linsey. we have an incredible story next about strength and survival. a young girl from arkansas battling a brain infection. the disease extremely rare and almost always fatal. only two people have ever survived it. but this morning, it looks like she may be the third. kaley hardic hasn't just beaten the odds. this morning, she appears she's rewritten them. >> kaley looked at me. and she goes, in that sweet little voice, hi, momma. and it was the most beautiful words i've ever heard. tears just started streaming down my face. >> reporter: the 12-year-old

arkansas girl was raced to the hospital last month after contracting a rare meningitis caused by a brain-eating amoeba. at the time, doctors weren't optimistic. of the 100 reported cases since the 1960s, only 2 people have survived. harding's mother told "gma" in july, she changed those numbers. >> we want everyone to pray for her. to be the number three survivor. so, that's what we're hoping for. kali to be number three. >> reporter: this morning, it appears she is. >> she is up to taking a few steps. she's starting to be able to swallow. she's been saying a few words. >> reporter: in a room filled with tokens of love and well-wish, her mother says harding is smiling once again. >> now, we're just asking for prayers on her rehab, that she can come back and be just her healthy self, like she was before this ever happened. >> reporter: and while doctors say harding has more rehab ahead, her mother is optimistic thatjwr% her daughter will one

be back at the hospital, helping others. >> we'll be a lot of giving and a lot of returning prayers that we've received. so, we've got big plans for kali. >> now, it's believed that kali got the amoeba while swimming at a lake at a water park in little rock. that park closed in july after kali got sick. she's come so far in a small amount of times. >> beating the odds. >> i love the smile. wishing her all the best. p for weather. what's going on out there? >> red flag warnings everywhere out in the west. we've been talking about wildfires all week. it's not going to be something we stop talking about because they have the red flag warnings. it's due to lightning coming onshore. thunderstorms sound like a good thing. and in some ways they are. the but when you have 51 large fires burning in the western states here. that's up big-time, from the beginning of the week when we had 35. the conditions improve when the humidity comes on with the low pressure system that's come

onshore. that comes with gusty winds and lightning when you get thunderstorms. that's a tale of two things. the high pressure system moving off to the east. what a difference this side of the country makes. look how wet still in the southeast. that's starting to push up in the northeast. squeezing together with the cold front. new york city, boston, all in line for some thunderstorms or showers today.

says, this tweet was intended to evoke discussion, lead into a very serious show topic, based upon a recent news story. hence the #teensaccused label. that's supposed to be part of an upcoming episode wn the new season starts september 1st. >> i don't think anyone should be punished for tweeting out something that relates to a show. this one was done with a little less sensitivity than dr. phil and his team are known for. and it caused people's eyebrows to raise. >> reporter: but carmen rios, a sexual assault activist says simply deleting the tweet, is not enough. she launched a change.org petition against dr. phil's show. >> i would love if dr. phil took on the issue of rape and sexual assault, from the standpoint of how we can start to solve the ongoing epidemic of assault, rather than focusing on what is or isn't rape. >> reporter: for "good morning america," paula faris, abc news, new york. >> i think it'sjkó fair to say
